Abstract
The invention relates to methods of cultivating ectomycorrhizal fungi, the method comprising incubating ectomycorrhizal MAT1-1 mycelia, ectomycorrhizal MAT1-2 mycelia, and ectomycorrhizal male mycelia in a culture medium for about 1 day to about 50 days, thereby cultivating ectomycorrhizal fungi to produce an ectomycorrhizal fungal biomass comprising MAT1-1 ectomycorrhizal mycelia, MAT1-2 ectomycorrhizal mycelia, and male ectomycorrhizal mycelia. Also provided are methods of use of the ectomycorrhizal mycelial biomass.
Claims27
A method of cultivating an ectomycorrhizal ascomycete, the method comprising:
- providing i) ectomycorrhizal MAT1-1 mycelia, ii) ectomycorrhizal MAT1-2 mycelia, and iii) ectomycorrhizal male mycelia of the ectomycorrhizal ascomycete;
- and
- incubating the ectomycorrhizal MAT1-1 mycelia, ectomycorrhizal MAT1-2 mycelia, and ectomycorrhizal male mycelia in a culture medium in vitro for about 3 days to about 50 days, thereby producing an ectomycorrhizal ascomycete biomass comprising the MAT1-1 ectomycorrhizal mycelia, the MAT1-2 ectomycorrhizal mycelia, and the male ectomycorrhizal mycelia.
An ectomycorrhizal ascomycete biomass produced by a method comprising:
- providing i) ectomycorrhizal MAT1-1 mycelia, ii) ectomycorrhizal MAT1-2 mycelia, and iii) ectomycorrhizal male mycelia of the ectomycorrhizal ascomycete;
- and
- incubating the ectomycorrhizal MAT1-1 mycelia, ectomycorrhizal MAT1-2 mycelia, and ectomycorrhizal male mycelia in a culture medium in vitro for about 3 days to about 50 days, thereby producing an ectomycorrhizal ascomycete biomass comprising the MAT1-1 ectomycorrhizal mycelia, the MAT1-2 ectomycorrhizal mycelia, and the male ectomycorrhizal mycelia.
